Giving every child the chance to smile with confidence this holiday season.
Campaign Purpose
Holiday Smiles is a Head Start initiative raising funds to ensure children receive essential dental care — from initial exams to restorative treatments — regardless of their insurance status or family’s ability to pay. Healthy teeth are vital to a child’s development, learning, and overall well-being, and with community support, we can make sure no child falls behind because of preventable dental issues.
Campaign Snapshot
- Total children served in Head Start: 697
- Children needing dental assistance through Holiday Smiles: 77
- Average cost per child: $400
- Dental needs: Initial exams, cleanings, fluoride, X-rays, and restorative treatments as needed

Dental pain and untreated dental issues can:
- Affect a child’s ability to eat, sleep, and speak comfortably
